Direct Thermal Labels

Direct thermal labels are a popular labeling solution that uses heat-sensitive material to create an image without the need for ink, toner, or ribbons. They’re widely used in industries like retail, shipping, healthcare, and logistics for temporary or short-term labeling needs.

How Direct Thermal Labels Work

1. A thermal printhead in a direct thermal printer applies heat to the label material.
2. The heat activates a special coating on the label, creating the printed image.
3. No ink, toner, or ribbon is required, making it cost-effective and maintenance-friendly.
